[Intro] I built a house on the drop I called the drop a promise [Verse 1] I stack the days like stones in a sleeve I sail the weather I pretend I can leave Round the bend of a talk that never lands Empty glasses, empty hands Friends say I hold too hard to the ghost I say the ghost is the only warm post Nothing they offer can numb what I keep A diamond heart in a body that weeps [Pre-Chorus] Look in the eyes They confess one crime We were never meant to be only kind [Chorus] Wash over me like a waterfall Do what you want Just don’t let go Wash over me like a waterfall Till the moon gives in And the sun takes the throne I will stand in the white of it I will drown with my name in it Wash over me Don’t let me go [Verse 2] I pay in hours, I keep a lit hill I volunteer for the hurt and the bill I do it for you You return it in pieces History thrown where the current increases We could start where the old bank broke Time is a lip on the edge of the smoke Reach if you’re real I’ll already be reaching We’ll shoot through the dark Till the dark starts preaching [Pre-Chorus] One look One law More than a friend Less than a dawn [Chorus] Wash over me like a waterfall Do what you want Just don’t let go Wash over me like a waterfall Till the moon gives in And the sun takes the throne I will stand in the white of it I will drown with my name in it Wash over me Don’t let me go [Violin Solo] [Bridge] Hold is a chapel Release is a grave I brought you a diamond You brought me the wave If the sun is the end Let it end on my mouth I would rather be taken Than wanted without Don’t let me go Even to save me [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] Wash over me like a waterfall Ruin the shore Just don’t let go Wash over me like a waterfall Moon on its knees Sun at the throat I will stand in the white of it I will drown and I’ll thank it Wash over me Don’t let me go Don’t let me go [Outro] I know what you hold I know what you hold
